RED X

This seminar exploits visual studies’ license to place architecture in a promiscuous relationship to art and will also take the anachronistic liberty of considering “Scale as Content” to be a curatorial time capsule - a missive from 1967 for us in our own fraught times. This wandering triad of works - constructive, critical, and nihilist - will be overlaid onto architecture to consider “The X” as placeholder for a contemporary architectural expression - too reduced in profile to be form, too disturbing to be shape. Through a series of large constructive assemblies we seek out contemporary Xs as a relevant - if ambiguous - category for architectural expression.
